Is my bike a Cat D ?
Following on from my Hit and Run described here http://forums.sv650.org/viewtopic.php?t=42193
I acquired the necessary parts to get the bike roadworthy. While fitting the indicator I noticed this http://www.curium.org.uk/images/bike/crash/lockstop.jpg Now I know the triple-clamp can be replaced but there is the smallest of indents to the actual frame lock-stop. Will this make the vehicle a cat D ? |
only if someone spots it
|
Nah. Wee dent's nothing. And you only get written off when you're getting damage assessed for insurance, if that's not happened then you're fine.
|
i'll be making a full claim when i get back from holiday.
Will they just write it off as a cat d ? It's a 2 month old bike |
if they do buy it back for next to nowt and bank the cash off the insurance claim theres nowt wrong with a cat D anyhow.
|
only resale value but if you price realisticly that no prob either.
|
They won't cat D it just for that, I bet you a pound. Maybe as a result of the other damage, all combined, but not specifically for that.
|
if the repair would cost 50% or more of the bikes value, it will normally go cat D at that age. and they will normally give you a brand new replacement bike, as you are within the bikes first 6 months.
